🏳️ John Hyer

John Hyer is a club-level competitor with a Racer Rating of 1,239, placing him in the developing to early club racing band; a real competition licence holder with genuine results, but operating in fields that do not routinely meet professional drivers. His record spans just three starts in NASA between 2019 and 2023, all in a Chevrolet Corvette. He won twice and podiumed in all three races, giving him a remarkable average finishing position of first place across his classified starts. This metric reflects the small sample size of his career rather than sustained domination; the consistency of his results nonetheless shows he performed well in the fields he entered.[1]

Hyer's competitive context reveals he raced against varied opponents at club level. He defeated Woody Heimann, a semi-professional competitor at 2,499 rating, on two occasions; he also beat Michael Moore twice, who was a 2019 NASA Super Touring 3 champion, though Moore's broader rating of 907 suggests his strength was series-specific rather than transferable across multiple categories. Against other club and developing-level drivers such as Tyler Chantrenne and Chris Herrick, Hyer's record is minimal, each appearing once in his results. His final outing in 2023 saw him finish 23rd, a sharp departure from his earlier perfect record and suggestive of either changed circumstances or the variability expected in a three-race career. Hyer has since retired from active competition.
